"My Supports"

            I receive support on many different levels and I think the most important support factor that I receive is spiritual support from God, my personal Lord and Savior. My Lord is always there for me and has never forsaken me. Whenever I am going through God is always there to listen and pull me through my circumstance and allow me to come out stronger and more confident than ever before. The Lord is my rock and has shown that he will never leave my side no matter what.

My next supporter would be my mother and father. They are extremely important to me and they provide me with various forms of support such as emotional, monetary (if needed) and physical. If I were to ask my parents for anything and they are able to provide it they will give it to me with no questions asked. My father is always there to lend an ear and a shoulder to cry on whenever that is needed. My mother is there to give help in many more ways. She will take care of my son when needed, she will help to run my business and keeps it running smoothly when I am not able. She will come to cook and clean at my house whenever needed. She is fantastic form of support and I am so grateful to have her.

My husband is another great form of support, he is there for me through thick and thin and I am grateful for that. I went out of work two weeks ago to go into the hospital to have our second child and he took time off from work from his job to go to my job and run my business so I did not have to close and lose my customers while I was out of work. He will cook, clean, wash clothes, take care of the kids and work constantly to care for our family and I am forever grateful for this. I know this is a true blessing and substantial benefit to have these support systems in place and having them makes my life so much easier. I know it would be extremely difficult if I did not have these people in my life as supporters because they go above and beyond to make my life easier in whatever way possible.

                I have a really BIG challenge right now and that is dealing with my father being very ill. He has diabetes and he is suffering with the side effects of the disease in a way that is not very promising. He has had this disease for over 20 years. I think about my father passing away and not being around and it makes me so sad because he is one of my biggest supporters. I lost my brother about 10 years ago to the same disease and my brother was only 36 years old when he passed. Seeing my father sick like that takes me back to the dark place of losing my brother.  I know my God, my mother and husband would be there for me to help me overcome this situation. They are so positive and always help me to see the positive in everything and I am forever grateful for them. I don’t think I would be able to make it in my life with my sanity if it were not for the tremendous supporters I have around me on the daily. My life would be very hard and I would have lost my mind a long time ago with everything that I have going on in a day. I love having such a dedicated group of people in my corner every day of my life.
